About this Event

Open daily 10:00am–4:00pm. Free guided tours Fridays at 2pm and Saturdays at 11am.
No booking required.


Visit the National Photographic Archive in Meeting House Square, Temple Bar for a free exhibition exploring Live Aid 1985—when music, media, and global activism came together on an unprecedented scale.

See images and stories from the Band Aid Trust Archive, donated by Bob Geldof to the National Library of Ireland, capturing the simultaneous London and Philadelphia concerts featuring artists such as Queen, U2, Madonna, Phil Collins, Status Quo, and Joan Baez.

Also explore special late openings with “Dublin by Dusk” (monthly from 28 May 2026).
